Stubs vs. Mocks Stubs provide specific answers to methods calls ex: myStubbedService.getValues() just return a String needed by the code under test used by code under test to isolate it cannot fail test ex: myStubbedService.getValues() just returns the stubbed value often implement abstract methods Mocks "superset" of stubs; can assert that certain methods are called ex: verify that myMockedService.getValues() is called only once used to test behaviour of code under test can fail test ex: verify that myMockedService.getValues() was called once; verification fails, because myMockedService.getValues() was not called by my tested code often mocks interfaces

Stub是实现组件接口的对象，但是Stub可以配置为返回适合测试的值，而不是返回调用时组件将返回的值。使用存根，单元测试可以测试一个单元是否可以处理来自合作者的各种返回值。在单元测试中使用存根而不是真正的合作者可以这样表示:

单元测试——>存根

单元测试——>单元——>存根

单元测试对结果和单元状态进行断言

首先，单元测试创建存根并配置其返回值。然后单元测试创建单元并在其上设置存根。现在，单元测试调用单元，而单元又调用存根。最后，单元测试对单元上的方法调用的结果进行断言。

A Mock is like a stub, only it also has methods that make it possible determine what methods where called on the Mock. Using a mock it is thus possible to both test if the unit can handle various return values correctly, and also if the unit uses the collaborator correctly. For instance, you cannot see by the value returned from a dao object whether the data was read from the database using a Statement or a PreparedStatement. Nor can you see if the connection.close() method was called before returning the value. This is possible with mocks. In other words, mocks makes it possible to test a units complete interaction with a collaborator. Not just the collaborator methods that return values used by the unit. Using a mock in a unit test could be expressed like this:

单元测试——>模拟

单元测试—>单元—>模拟

单元测试对单元的结果和状态进行断言

单元测试断言在mock上调用的方法

上面有很多有效的答案，但我认为值得一提的是这个表格鲍勃叔叔: https://8thlight.com/blog/uncle-bob/2014/05/14/TheLittleMocker.html

最好的例子解释!

有很多很棒的答案，我喜欢这个，所以我把它做成了一个表格。

模拟:帮助模拟和检查结果交互。这些交互 SUT调用它的依赖项来改变它们的状态。

存根:帮助模拟传入的交互。这些相互作用称为 SUT对其依赖项进行处理以获取输入数据。

在codeschool.com的课程《Rails僵尸测试》中，他们给出了这些术语的定义:

Stub

用于将方法替换为返回指定结果的代码。

Mock

带有调用方法的断言的存根。

因此，正如Sean Copenhaver在他的回答中所描述的那样，不同之处在于mock设置了期望(即做出断言，关于是否或如何调用它们)。
